7zip 9.20

7zip 9.20: this well-known archive software contains within it a tool that can analyze system performance, reporting a value expressed in MIPS (million istruction per second). The test includes compression, decompression, and overall value.

In this benchmark the performance is such as to ensure a more than comfortable result also with this application. The performances are quite comparable to the Intel i7-2600K, but also you can see that the gap with the "old" generation of AMD Thuban, in particular, the 1100T, is not very high. We have a good margin in the compression phase, which also manages to be even higher than the Intel CPUs of the same segment.

This graph is very significant, if we saw in the previous case, the AMD CPU to deal with the i7-2600K, in this case we observe that the CPU is a definite step back. The end result sees the CPU to be stuck behind the CPU architecture with the old 1100T Thuban. A sign that the IPC on a single core is essentially unchanged, even in some cases is even lower than the older generation.
